ITunes playing over 3 Airport Express basestations

I've read that people have success now playing iTunes over multiple basestations, but wondered if this was just over 2, or if anyone had tried it with 3 basestations? Obviously its quite expensive to buy 3 and try it myself!
Thanks

Hey Lord_Brock,
This article will give some good tips on moving the iTunes music folder.

How do I get my PC to play internet music over my Airport Express?

Can you help please?
I want to play music from the internet over my Airport Express rather than the PC speakers. Playing itunes music works fine.

You will need an application like Airfoil for Windows to be able to stream any audio source on your PC to the AirPort Express.

ITunes not playing/connecting through Airport Express

Whenever I try to play a track in iTunes wirelessly through my Airport express iTunes always returns the error: "An error occured while connecting to the remote speaker "AirPort Express" The network connection failed".
I can't work out what's wrong because the Airport light is green and connected to my router perfectly, there are no errors in the Airport utility and I can print wirelessly to the printer connected to the Airport using the Bonjour setup.
I have Windows 7 and the latest versions of all software and firmware installed. Turning off Windows firewall makes no difference so it can't be that. I have tried everything I can possibly think of and have gottem nowhere. Please help!

I have configured and re-configured my Airport Express, but I can't get it to receive music from iTunes.
iTunes does recognize presence of Airport Express (named "Stereo Cabinet").
However, when I select "Stereo Cabinet" in the pulldown menu, all I get is reduced volume output through my computer speakers... not through the stereo system hooked up the to the Airport Express.
I've had this problem for months... posted here some time ago, but got no response.
I am running 10.6.2 on an Intel Core duo Macbook laptop. This function used to work just fine, and I can't figure out why it no longer does. I think I had the same trouble under 10.5... but my attempts to figure it out were only sporadic (busy life, you know?).
Can anyone help?

Latest firmware update 6.3 and dead airport express basestation

My Airport Express basestation (aebs) is 13 month old. It suddenly went dead. No light, no reset, nothing.
And maybe a coincidence:
It happened only 36 hours after I loaded the new 6.3 firmware update.
I wonder if anyone had the same experience regarding a dead aebs due to firmware update 6.3. At least - compared to the posts here - a dead aebs is not such a rare incident as one might wish it would.
Mac OS X (10.4)

Exactly the same has happened to mine, although I don't recall doing a firmware update. Yesterday I just downloaded and installed iTunes 6.0.2 & QuickTime 7.0.4. However, when I came home from work this evening my Airport Express had no LED on as normal. It was cold and had obviously been off for sometime. The fuse it OK and it's just one month after the 1-year guarantee period. Sounds suspiciously like a plot to me....

Itunes remote speaker using Airport Express and Extreme

I have purchased an Airport Extreme and Airport Express, so I can listen Itunes music on my stereo system. For some reason, there is simply no remote speaker selection button on the bottom right of the Itunes windows. Does it has to do with the fact that I am using an old Mac OS X?
My Macmini has no airport card, so I connected the ethernet to the Airport extreme, and plugged the Airport express few feet from the base. Nothing but an orange tilting light comes out of the little box. I can surf the net perfectly but the Itunes is ignoring all my investment on the couple of Airport boxes i purchase...What I am doing wrong?

Yes, I thought that purchasing the Airport extreme as
the ethernet interfase directly connected to the
MacMini, was almost the same as having the airport
card inside the Mini. Where did I get lost?? I have
the extreme directly to the mini, and an express
plugged somewhere close and nothing happens...
The problem is that the mini can only stream iTunes to an Airport Express via Airport. While you have connected it to an Airport basestation, as far as the mini is concerned, it is working via ethernet because that's how the data is leaving the system. It doesn't have an Airport card, thus it can't stream iTunes content to an Airport Express.

ITunes can't find Airport Express remote speakers after PC standby

I use Airport Express 802.11n to drive my remote speakers over WiFi from iTunes. It works well, except for after my PC Laptop has been in standby (such as folding the screen). When it wakes up and regains network connectivity, iTunes can no longer find the Airport Express remote speakers. I can ping the Airport and it shows up in Airport Utility, so I have WiFi connection. It does not help to restart iTunes, I need to reboot Windows to allow iTunes to see the remote speakers again.
Does anyone have a tip of how I can get iTunes to "refresh" the Airport Express connection (zeroconf/Bonjour issue?) after standby wakeup?

Holy moly. Now it works.
I restarted the Airport Express from the Airport Utility application, repaired persmissions and rebooted the computer as well.
Not much of a "fix" but sometimes you gotta do the most obvious I guess. (And yes I feel stupid)
Cheers

Can't get itunes to connect to airport express via air tunes

Hi,
I just bought and installed an airport express (for windows 7) everything is now connected but i can't get itunes to recognize my airport express via air tunes. I can see the multiple speakers in itunes, but when i click on it to connect to airport it just comes up with connecting, loads for about a minute then minimizes without connecting.
Has anyone else experienced this? How can i get this to work?

You've probaby solved this by now, but if not... When upgrading itunes on a Vista or Windows 7 machine with Windows Firewall running for some reason Bonjour can't get through the firewall and thus Airplay does not work. Not good when all your Hi-fi's are connected via airport express!
I found to resolve the issue you have to install an older version of Bonjour. It won't work if you try to do this straight from Apple. So try this...
1. Firstly install and older version of itunes from the web (say version 10.1) Try www.oldapps.com
2. Then find the Bonjour file in program files
3. Cut and paste it to your desktop with its contents
4. Uninstall itunes and Bonjour via your control panel (the desktop file of Bonjour you moved will still be there).
5. Install your new version of itunes, say version 10.5, from the apple website.
6. Before opening it go to program files and cut the (newly installed) Bonjour file and paste it somewhere different to the desktop (you can't just delete it). It does not matter where you won't be needing it.
7. Now Cut and paste the old version of Bonjour you stuck on the desktop in Program files in place of the one you just moved.
8. Hey presto, Airplay, Windows firewall and your Airport Express' should all get on again.
Hope this works...

No, you cannot seperate the audio and video stream.
You can use optical audio to a sound system (I use sony sound bar) and play the audio via that.

I lost control over my Airport Express

I lost control over my Airport Express. It is still working, wireless network is alright, but the Airport Utility can not find it. I reinstalled the utility on my desktop but still the same.

That's irritating. What is the exact message provided by AirPort Utility? Is it something like "No configured AirPort base stations have been found"?
What version of AirPort Utility are you using, which AirPort Express model do you have (look on its case for a number like A1084, A1264 or A1392), and what version of OS X are you using?

Can't play music via Airport Express

I've successfully played music through Airport Express before, but for some reason I keep getting this error message now: There are no speakers connected to the Aiport Device "Living Room".
I have connected Harman Kardon speakers and subwoofer connected to the Airport, but it must not be recognizing the connection. I believe I have it correctly set up on the computer end...any thoughts?

Are these speakers USB or are they connected with the 1/8" audio jack? What is your setup from pluging the audio speakers and the subwoofer?

Stream Music over iPhone from iTunes Server direct to Airport Express?

Hi all
I have a wireless network supported from timecapsule which will be expanded via airport extress. I use airport express to stream music from my iTunes library to defined speakers via remote app on my iPhone.
Due to lack of diskspace on my MacBook Pro, I bought a Synology NAS to store all my music on it and use the iTunes server.
Unfortunately, there is obviously no app from Apple available to connect to iTunes server (via iPhone or iPad) select music to play and also the speakers to stream to!
Thanks for your help!
Regards, Jean-Claude

I think this is really disappointing especially since it seems to be able to stream from the Apple TV G1 to Airport Express devices. Also it's weird that you will be able to stream from the iPad to Airport Express devices including Apple TV G2 but the same thing is not possible from the Apple TV G2... Let's hope they'll change that but maybe they did it on purpose because the Apple TV G2 is streaming itself... This is really disappointing.
Also I recognized that music that is played via the home sharing on your Apple TV G2 doesn't include the ratings. Ratings are not transferred via home sharing. I don't think your playcount etc. will be updated as well. This is very disappointing as well. What do you guys think about that?

Can Ipod Touch play music to Airport express like Airtunes of itune ??

I will wan to buy an iPod Touch for portable music player, & I really want it be able to play the music from airport express to my home music system when I come back home.
Is it default or possible in the future ??

I can't find an option for it on my iPod, but don't rule it out.
Apple may be working something.

Stream content from iTunes to AppleTV and Airport Express

I have an Apple TV in family room which is wirelessly connected to my home network. I also have a PC connected via Ethernet to my network. All my music is stored on an external drive connected to my PC (I don’t store any media on the ATV, as my music is well over 400GB). This setup works great, and allows me to stream content from the external drive to my ATV which is connected to a stereo.
Next, I purchased an Airport Express, connected it to a second stereo in my basement. After spending 3 hours trying to get it connected to my network, (I had to disable all wireless encryption, and use MAC filtering to keep network secure), I am now able to stream media from iTunes on the PC, to the stereo connected to the Airport Express.
What I would like to do now, is be able to select a song from the Apple TV (using ATV remote, or iPhone Remote), and have it play in both places. Since the media itself is coming from iTunes running on the PC with the external drive, and it gets streamed from there to Apple TV, how can I also stream the same content to the Airport Express?
The folks at the Apple store say this is a feature, but no one seems to know how to make it work. I have also read hundreds of posts online, and some say you can do this, others say you cannot. All of those who say it is not possible, state you cannot stream from ATV to AE, but in my case, the media is not on the ATV, it is on the PC, and I just want to use ATV to select the song. From there, it would be iTunes that would send the content to both the ATV and the AE.
Can someone help myself and many others put this question to rest - can it be done, or not?

Thanks for the reply. Just as you indicated, I figured out how to use iPhone remote to tell iTunes on PC to output to Express, Apple TV and PC, and that works great - I can even turn on/off any of the speakers from the iPhone - this is so COOL!
While you answered the question, I am curious about the architecture of all this...If the media is actually on the PC and is controlled by iTunes, isn't the Apple TV doing the same thing as the iPhone Remote - just telling iTunes what to play, and iTunes sends the content to whatever speakers are defined? Keeping that thought, if you can control iTunes via iPhone Remote, and the content will play on any speakers you select, then it would make sense that you could do the same thing with the Apple TV menu - tell iTunes what to play, and let iTunes send to whatever speakers you have selected.

How can I get my iPhone 4S to see and play to my Airport Express

Currently iTunes on my macbook pro can see and use my Airport Express 802.11g however my phone cannot use it. Is there a simple answer?
The airport utility app on the phone sees the Airport Express and the Airport extreme 802.11n 1st gen and indicates they are connected. However the Exrpress does not have a green light next to it. The Airport utility on my macbook pro at first said it was no longer supported, after I typed in its Ethernet address i get a message saying this airport used to be part of your network check that it is in range of your network and is plugged in...
My Airport extreme base station 2004 - 2007 stopped being supported by Apple or recognized by Airport utility. Airport utility 5.6 was the last to be able to see my older airport base station and the Airport express. Airport utility 5.6 no longer works with OS 10.9.1.
So is there a way to configure at least the Airport express with the Extreme based network?
Or should I just drop them at an apple store as garbage?

Either you have orientation lock on, or the app doesn't support rotation.
If you are using iOS 7, check for Orientation Lock in your Control Center.
If you are using iOS 6, check for Orientation Lock in your multi-task bar, over to the left side.
